Dental caries is the main reason for placement and replacement of restorations (Keene, 1981). More than 60 percent of dentists' restorative time is spent replacing existing restorations. The replacement of restorations can result in a cavity preparation larger than its predecessor which leads to weakening of the remaining tooth structure (Mjör, 1993). Considering the traditional surgical dental caries management philosophy, it was based on "extension for prevention" and restorative material needs rather than on preserving the healthy tooth structure (Black, 1908).

Abstract:
Oral diseases are often called a neglected or silent epidemic. They are largely due to social injustice in which private wealth overrides the public’s health. Although oral diseases affect almost everyone, prevention of them and access to dental services have not been high priorities in the United States. This chapter, after defining oral health, describes the neglected epidemic of oral diseases and then discusses the roles that the food and tobacco industries play in contributing to oral disease and poor oral health. Although organized dentistry has done much to improve oral health, it also has limited access to dental care for millions of Americans. The chapter discusses health literacy and social inequality, national issues concerning oral health, state and local issues, school programs, the dental public health infrastructure, and the dental workforce. It discusses what needs to be done. A text box addresses oral health in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract:
In this chapter we will look briefly at the prevention needs of people with disabilities and people who are vulnerable and require special care dental services for reasons that may be social. Within this group there will be a spectrum of people with needs and dependencies. Not everyone described as belonging to a vulnerable group in this chapter would identify themselves as disabled; nevertheless, what they have in common are a range of factors that put their oral health at risk, make accessing dental care complicated, or make the provision of dental care complicated. These factors may include a ‘physical, sensory, intellectual, mental, medical, emotional or social impairment or disability, or more often a combination of these factors’ (GDC 2012). People with disabilities have fewer teeth, more untreated disease, and more periodontal disease when compared to the general population in the UK (Department of Health 2007). Good oral health can contribute to better communication, nutrition, self-esteem, and reduction in pain and discomfort, while poor oral health can lead to pain, discomfort, communication difficulties, nutritional problems, and social exclusion (Department of Health 2007). As discussed in previous chapters, the important risk factors for oral diseases include: high-sugar diets, poor oral hygiene, smoking, and alcohol misuse. They are also shared risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancers. The basic principles and approaches for the prevention of oral diseases in disabled people and vulnerable groups are similar to those described in previous chapters; however, there is a need to recognize that the context, the circumstances, the settings, and the opportunities for prevention will be slightly different, depending on the groups. For example, some disabled people (e.g. people with learning disabilities) may be reliant on others, such as family, carers, health care workers, to support basic self-care and to access health services. Other vulnerable groups such as homeless people live independent lives but lack access to basic facilities such as drinking water, and a place to store toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Abstract:
Dental diseases affect a large number of people, cause much discomfort and pain, and are costly to treat. Their impact is therefore considerable, to both the individual and wider society (see Chapters 3 and 21 for a more detailed overview of oral health impacts). A particular concern is the pervasive nature of oral health inequalities with the burden of oral diseases now increasingly experienced amongst less educated and socially excluded groups in society. The causes of dental diseases are well known and effective preventive measures have been identified. However, treatment services still dominate oral health systems around the world. There is growing recognition within the dental profession that treatment services will never successfully treat away the causes of dental diseases (Blinkhorn 1998). In the Lancet , one of the top medical journals, an editorial on oral health highlighted the need to reorient dental services towards prevention (Lancet 2009). What type of preventive approach should be adopted to promote oral health and reduce inequalities? It is essential that preventive interventions address the underlying determinants of oral disease and inequalities to achieve sustainable improvements in population oral health. Effectiveness reviews of clinical preventive measures and health education programmes have highlighted that these approaches do not reduce oral health inequalities and only achieve short-term positive outcomes. A radically different preventive approach is therefore needed. If treatment services and traditional clinical preventive approaches are not capable of dealing effectively with dental diseases, then other options need to be considered. In recent decades, the health promotion movement has arisen, partly in response to the recognized limitations of treatment services to improve the health of the public. With escalating costs and wider acceptance that doctors and dentists are not able to cure most chronic conditions, increasing interest has focused on alternative means of dealing with health problems. The origins of health promotion date back to the work of public health pioneers in the 19th century. At that time, rapid industrialization led to the creation of poor and overcrowded working and living conditions for the majority of the working classes in the large industrial towns and cities of Europe and North America.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization defines a health care system as: . . . all organizations, people and actions whose primary intent is to promote, restore or maintain health. This includes efforts to influence determinants of health as well as more direct health-improving activities. . . . . . . (WHO 2007) . . . Such a definition covers a myriad of potential elements and factors, of which the dental element is but one. A health care system is not static: it evolves as part of the more general social and welfare arrangements in a society. As a member of a health care profession, all dental care providers need to have an appreciation of the wider aspects of any arrangements of health, its determinants, and care delivery, if only to understand how the pressures on a system may impact on their current and future activities. This chapter provides an overview of health care systems and provides the framework for Chapters 18–23. Health care systems are complex organizations that are in a constant process of change and evolution. Dentistry is one very small component of the wider health care system, which is itself part of the overall social welfare system within society. Dentists, as health professionals, need to understand the basic elements of the health care system within which they are working. The development of health care systems is an ongoing process in which all societies try to meet the health needs of its citizens. There is no society that has yet designed a system that meets the needs of all its citizens. Indeed, historically in many countries it was only the wealthy that were able to access health care in a society. As societies evolved, the pressures to make the health care system accessible to all its members grew. Mays (1991) has highlighted the political importance of health care, showing that many health care systems reforms were designed to prevent political instability and improve the fitness of army recruits. Indeed, the development of the then School Dental Service in the UK was brought about following questions in Parliament about the poor state of soldiers’ teeth in the Boer War.

Abstract:
During the last 20 years our understanding of periodontal disease has been dramatically changed. Findings from clinical and epidemiological research have challenged the traditional progressive disease model and questioned the extent of destructive periodontal diseases within the population (Baleum and Lopez 2003; Petersen and Ogawa 2005; Sheiham and Netuveli 2002). Although gaps in our knowledge still exist about the precise nature and full extent of the condition, it is critically important that preventive and public health approaches to periodontal disease are based upon current scientific understanding of the condition (Baleum and Lopez 2003). This chapter will present an overview of current clinical and epidemiological research findings on periodontal disease. This will be followed by a critical review of the various options for prevention of the condition, with particular emphasis on the public health strategies required. Before considering the options for the prevention of periodontal diseases it is important to highlight the main epidemiological features of the condition. Although most adults have some gingivitis and calculus deposits, epidemiological surveys indicate that only approximately 10–15% of the adult population suffer from progressive periodontitis (Albandar 2005; Papapanou 1999; Petersen and Ogawa 2005; Sheiham and Netuveli 2002). The extent and severity of periodontitis increases with age and is more common among men than women. Stark socioeconomic inequalities exist, with lower-income and less-educated groups having significantly worse periodontal health than their more affluent and educated contemporaries (Petersen and Ogawa 2005; Sheiham and Netuveli 2002). As with other chronic diseases, a consistent social gradient exists in the distribution of periodontal diseases within a defined population (Borrell et al. 2006; Lopez et al 2006; Sabbah et al. 2007). The social gradient indicates that socio-economic differences in periodontal measures do not just occur at the extremes of the social spectrum between the rich and poor in society, but across the entire social hierarchy in a graded stepwise fashion. Trend data suggest that in high- and middle-income countries, oral hygiene levels have steadily improved in all age groups and there has been a decline in the extent of gingivitis (Hugoson et al 1998; Morris et al. 2001).

Abstract:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection accounts for approximately 5.2% of the worldwide human cancer burden. Molecular epidemiologic evidence clearly indicates that certain types of HPV are the principal cause of both cervical and oral cancers. Major oncoproteins E6 and E7 can inactivate p53 and pRB proteins because it happened genome instability and dysregulation host cell cycles. This virus is an epithelial tropism, vulnerable area mainly at the basal layer and epithelial stem cell, because it still has a high proliferation capacity, so it can support the replication of the virus. Virions bind initially to the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains of heparan sulphate proteoglycan (HSPG). More than 99% cervical cancer arise at the cervical transformation zone. In oral cavity, exposed areas of the basal layer will be very susceptible to HPV infection. The HPV presence in the oral area is considered as one of the etiologics of oral cancer in those who do not have bad habits such as smoking, betel chewing, or poor oral hygiene. Our study successfully identified HPV type 58 in dental calculus. Dental calculus, calcified oral plaque biofilm, has been shown to be an abundant, nearly ubiquitous, and long-term reservoir of the ancient oral microbiome, including bacteria, archaea, eukaryote, and viruses. During biomineral maturation process, several biological contents around the oral region should be trapped, including the exfoliated virus contained cells. Dental calculus is a promising source of HPV and carcinogens molecules in the oral cavity and could be used as a biomarker for early detection.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses India’s health system. The Indian Constitution upholds the right of its citizens to enjoy human dignity. The country’s Supreme Court has ruled that this means the right to health is integral to the right to life and the government has a constitutional obligation to provide health facilities. But healthcare is not a fundamental right in India. There is no universal healthcare system. Instead, it has a three-tiered health system, in which the poorest go to the notionally free and suitably ramshackle public hospitals; the rich and upper middle classes access super-specialty private hospitals with hotel-like lobbies and air-conditioned suites, respectful doctors, and state-of the-art equipment; and the rest resort to low-to-middle-end private nursing homes that are a scaled-down version of the five-star corporate hospitals. The Covid-19 outbreak laid bare the denial of decent medical attention to the poor by this long-tolerated caste system of public healthcare. The chapter then looks at the relationship between democracy and healthcare. The commonplace belief that representative democracy forces competition for popular support that in turn makes contenders for power more responsive to citizens’ healthcare needs is shown not to apply to India. India’s pathetic public healthcare system and its mercenary private healthcare sector present a troubling anomaly to statistical conclusions that democracy is the nurse of good health. The murderous inequity of its healthcare system speaks of a democracy that celebrates the equality of its people and their votes, even while treating their bodies as unequal.

ABSTRACT Background: Visual inspection acetic acid (VIA) can help detect cervical cancer at an early stage. However, under-utilization of the screening (e.g. rural residence, poor knowledge, low education, acceptability by the healthcare providers, etc.) persists as a major challenge. This study aimed to determine factors affecting the use of VIA test. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out at 25 community health centers (puskesmas) in Magelang, Central Java, from September to October 2019. A sample of 200 women aged 30-50 years old was selected for this study randomly. T
